consequently considerable territory has been
added to the outside districts The men will be
transferred to the new districts JAN l, when
the new patrol system will go into effect. Here
tofore it has been the practice to transfer them
from district to another several times
year, but under the system changes will
not be made except for special reasons. The
patrol stations for the new system have been
completed. and the telephone wires are being
put up. There will be thirteen stations in all.

NOTARY sTEEG SUES MAYOR DENNY.
He Demands So 900 on Account of the Pro-
ceedings to Have His Commission Re, oked.

John l.. F. Steeg has filed libel suit against
Mayor Denny in the Circuit Court, and demands
So, 900 damages on account Of certain alleged
libelous charges that Mr. Denny has made
against him in the Circuit Court The suit
grows out of the effort Mr.. Denny has been
making to have Steegs commission a notary
revoked. on account of Steegs connection with
false affidavit made by negro named Green,
a few days before the election last fall An
effort was made to injure Mr.. Denny's chances
for election by inducing Green to make an aft
davit that he had taken him home drunk in
carriage, late at night. Green subsequently
made affidavit that he had not seen MIR. Denny
drunk, and named Mr.. Steeg as the notary who
swore him to the false affidavit at time when
he under the influence of intoxcants. Aft
the election Mayor Denny endeavored to
have Steeg's commission revoked, and filed
petition in the Circuit Court asking
Judge Ayres to take such action The
Judge decided that the appointment was
made by the Governor he had authority to
revoke the commission Mr.. Denny then made
another move by serving notice on Judge Ayres
that Steeg's commission would soon expire, and
that he desired the privilege of showing to the
court that Steeg was not of good moral charac-
ter. and not the sort of person to whom
charges made in these two petitions to the Cir
cult Court that Steeg bases his claim for DANA
ges He alleges that the statements regarding
his unftness to hold commission a notary
un true and that account of their publi-
cation his business notary public and as an
abstracter of titles has been greatly damaged
Mayor Denny seems very glad that the suit
has been brought. it will, he says, give
him an opportunity TO show the connection
Steeg and members of the Democratic gang had
with the conspiracy TO defame his character.
Mr. Steeg's has occasioned considerable
talk among members of the bar regarding the
duty of notary public. and the general opinion
is that the office has bsen greatly degraded in
the last few years by the commissioning of ire
sponsible men. II remember" said an old at
torney, when affidavit meant something
but usually now it doesn't Any man who can
get some one to testify TO his good moral char
acter go before the circuit judge and get
certificate on which commission will be issued.
AS result of the loose way of doing business
any man get affidavit for any purpose he
may desire. A man may prepare an affidavit
that will ruin the best citizen in Indianapolis,
and there are hundreds of notaries public who
will swear him to it. All you have to do is to
throw down paper before a notary, ask him to
swear you and he will do it-just for the Gus
tomary fee.H
